g and profuse spicit. of • mi n i s t er i a l f avour i t i sm. But Sa the other hand there was the full and de cided testimony of a man adequate to give -his judgment, and of whose admirable valour and good • fortune . the House arid the Nation had but one opi nion. He rot that in making those remarks s he might be7treading on perilous ground; He was pro bably bringing upon himself some charitable re_ marks, particularly, those of a - Gentleman, whose charity was of a very peculiar nature. (Supposed in :allusion to Mr. Wilberforce). But he was careless about_ such remarks ; he deprecated that person's charity ; ; he would got shun, he would ra ;iher solicit his hostility. Had there been any thing said to make out a reason for the vote which was demanded of them on that night ? Where Was the evidence of intrepidity or skill, of that boldness which bursts its way through all obstacles—of tint genius before which obstacles vanish ? For all this he was only insulted with a dry catalogue of nega tives, and a n a ccount t h at the Noble Admiral in ispeated the aelion at a distance of seven miles. The question had been treated lightly; but levity was un becoming the . grave and sage matters of their' deli beration. The subje& was of most importance ; and it merited to be most seriously considered. Mr. WINDHAM having doubts on the vote which he should give, would 'state what they were, but still more strongly what they were not. .'He was adverse to the revisal of Courts-Martial, bu‘ the Vole of Thanks forced him to put himself t o th e trouble of thi n ki ng a little. He thought that a motion. for papers on such a subje& was unneces sary; the Thanks of that House.did not deserve to be lavished on any man, unless his service was of . that rank which forced itself into universal report, and universal admiration. It was not to be evolved in some obscure process of official chemistry ; not -to be drawn. out from under bundles of obscure re cords ; not to be elicited by any keen, cunning, re _condite, subtilizing process, beyond the practice or the perception of the General. To be praised, it must be known; to be matter of thank s; it must be mater of publicity. He then adverted to. the instance of Sir Home Popham, in which he accused the condu& of the Admiralty, as taking its effe& froth the sentence of a Court-Martial, by conferring situations of confidence on him, subsequ en tly to hi s having received a reprimand... Lord Gambier n ever came into the action. This.was admitted by all the evidence, yet this should not throw a stain upOn him. It was not, his place. - The aspersion thrown on hint for sparing the. lives of his. men was-idle. It was the highest praise of the firstvilitary cha ra&ers that they .save d bl oo d , Great Commanders hated the unnecessary Avaste of human lives. They ' Avere careful of-their men, and it was their proudest boast that they accomplished- their viaeries without . the unnecessary expenditure - of a single soldier. Batt in voting Thanks' it was time to pause. Their old' rewards were becoming worthless. It had been said nothing was left but the peerage, and even 'the most lavish - disposal of that high honour; they gave it- away . by 't wo steps at Once. This was the natural _ process where there was no distinct scale'of merit and reward ; but it was time to stop.; They had in their 'hands Ihetreat provision for national virtue; they had the honours of the country entrusted to them, and it heca,rne therif, as Legislators, not to suffer its streams to be idly diverted, nor to bo pro digally and prausedly 'poured forth, 't o slake the thirst of unclese,ning a:nhition, still panting, still insat;ahle. The House di% idedop the motion of thanks, Ayes 161 Noes 39 Majority in. The•njotjon for voting thanks to Lord. Viscount WOington was th:n postponed till Thursday.

Yesterday a very numerous Meeting took plate (4 ' the Subscribers to Lloyd's, to take into considetati 4 , the injury- likely to accrue to Lloyd's from thee pose&grarit of a Charter to the New ltiorinelig?; ranee Cowpony. Mr. JASPER VAUX was called- 4 , thp Chair:. • Mr. As' GERSTEIN proposed the Resolutions,wls, ; d i' ate to be keen in our first page. On hit. proposing a Resolution' expressive of JO co,rreel ccindua of the Underwriters in generals ° very diffeirent from what was th e case s t ate d in in' preamble of the A 6 of 1720 for giving Charters,' This Resolution was opposed by several Gentle' men, and particularly by Mr. Rowcroft and M" Marryat, as wholly unnecessary, as there was ST reason to 'anticipate that the same objeaions could be urged mow as were urged in '7O, and therefore that it wis not necessary to answer them. On the Resolution for appointing a Committee, - - Mr. WIDOD said, although he telt the strongest attachment and gratit u d e to t h at E sta bli s h ment o f 'which he' had been so long a Member, - yet he could not see ally thing unjust or injurious. to their hue• rests in granting a Charter to this new Company. Mr. Annear here observed, that Mr. W oo d (nu ~ indeed owe gratitude and a tt ac h ment to Lloyd's, In which he ,had made much the .greater part of his fortune ; but he wished he would explain to then' from what quarter the new. Company was to derive its profits,' unless from what they would otherwise have. , . „ .. After some further conversation, the Ccirnmittes was appointed to consist of 15 Members.

On Tuesday last, a most distressing accident bop pened to Mr. Bloxham, miller, of Avon Dasset, as he: was returning from Warwidk- with a waggon load of coals. He stopped his teana.at Tachbrooke,. to adjust the gearing on th,. thill-horse, and by the horses suddenly _ going forward; he was throWn down, and the wheels going Oyer him in a longi tudinal diteEtion, separated the whole of his riffs' from the sternum, or bzeait-bone, desperately wounding the lungs, which were partly forced thrriugh his side.. In this dreadful state' he sur vived .from twelve o'clock at noon, the time the accident took place, till five on the foll Owin g. morning. In our. Paper Some - time ago,- we recorded an RC count of a...most shocking murder, committed by . John Williams, late of the Wood -houses, near Whit church, on the body , of his wife. Notwithstanding the most diligent search, no traces of the murderer could be discovered, and it was concluded he had made his escape.—ln eluding th e punishment with I- which the law would have visited his crime, he met with it in the torturing agonies of a guilty can science.—He fella vi&im to despair, and died by his own hands !—On Thux3day morninghis body was found hanging at the top ola barn in Norbury, near the place where he had committed his crime, From its putrid state, it is probable he had hung himself soon after the murder. We have not heard the vet, 'diet of the Coroner's Inquest, but it may be calcu lated upon ,with tolerable precision. • CORONER'S IbieaussT.—At the beginning of the last week, the wdowlady of art Officer in the Dutch service, of the name of Legarte, left, her 3 µu 4 ient~,in Balfour-place, :Mary-le-bore, to walk' before dinner, as usual; but she never after return-, ed.

The drawing -of the State Lottery will commence in a few 'days.--The demand:for-Tickets and Shares at HORNSBY and Co.'s hourly increases. The sale at their Country .Offices-is considerably mor e th a n usual. The exchange of 3 per cents: into 4 per cents. instituted by 'HORNSBY and Co. assists the Lottery much.
